Based on recent customer reviews, Bidvest Insurance presents a sharply divided customer experience. Individual consultants are frequently praised by name for their professionalism and warmth, earning strong marks for Agent Quality (3.8). However, the claims process, particularly for tyre and rim policies, is a persistent source of frustration. Claims Handling (1.5) and Communication & Responsiveness (2.0) are significant pain points, with customers describing weeks-long delays, unanswered emails, and a lack of proactive updates.
Top Strengths:
- •Agent Quality & Customer Care: Customers consistently name agents like Brightness, Luthando, Tyron, Thabang, and Nomvelo, praising their patience, product knowledge, and genuine care. These individuals are described as going above and beyond.

Shortfall
I have never dealt with a call centre that is not available throughout the whole day, no response to emails and when you get through they make you hold like hell. I claimed for shortfall no correspondence or anything when you ask for follow up they have no idea of whats happening and they are rude.

Very very poor service
Very very poor service. I would never advise anyone to use them. It's quicker for them to deduct money from your account BUT they'll give you a runaround when you claim. As if they want you to give up. I'm talking about days of going back and forth with your claim.

I bought a car at Ford Mccarthy
I bought a car at Ford Mccarthy. The car was coming up a huge smoke coming from the car. I switched off the ignition and went to investigate what might happen open the bornett as it was coming from it. I wait for the car to cool down. When I start the ignition it refuses to start it was dead. There were no suspicious signs on the deshboard showing that the car is not in good condition. I took the car with a tow truck to Ford Alberton. They are refusing to pay it they are claiming that I drove a car while it was overheating
